Drugs, Drinking

May 8, 1986

YOUNG PEOPLE UP to 21 years old would lose their drivers' licenses for drug arrests -- even if the bust had nothing to do with a car -- under a bill that cleared the Senate Transportation Committee Wednesday. The same sanction would apply to underaged drinkers under the proposal (CS/SB 294), even if the nearest motor vehicle is miles away. The bill also would increase penalties for profoundly drunken first offenders and for drivers convicted of a fourth DUI offense. Next: Senate Appropriations Committee.
